up to now i'd have to say that i didn't really see any parody of naruto but maybe general making fun of the whole ninja genre (granted, there aren't that many ninja-series at the moment). if they made a little fun of naruto, then it was subtile imho and not very blatant. (i wouldn't mind either way, allthough i still follow naruto)

Some parody every now and then is always great. I love to read the naruto manga. And to a point, I love to watch the naruto anime. But being able to make fun of something you love is a mark of those who have sence of humor. ^_^

As for if this reference to ninja was made to be parody of naruto directly, it is almost absolutly certain. Alot of anime shows were made parody in this show, and judging by the mainstream popularity of naruto, it would be the most ideal to parodize.

I didn't see them parodize one thing from Naruto specifically. Everything they parodized are typical Ninja cliches.

yes, but it merely common sence that they are making a parody of Naruto rather than some obscure 1980s ninja anime, is it not? Naruto is fairly recent and quite popular. Although it is possible that this show is making fun of ALL ninja animes, it is far more likely that they are making fun of Naruto more specifically because more viewers in this day would identify with a recently popular show.

I would be very surprised if the botched replication jutsu in the opening sequence is not inspired by Naruto. But overall this is clearly a generic ninja parody. (And there's a lot of non-Naruto ninja fiction out there.) I can't think of anything in Naruto that is remotely similar to a shape-changing yellow ball with wings, for instance.

it isn't just Naruto that's being poked fun at, of course. ^_^ Alot of popular animes are being parodized and alot of popular anime themes, too. But with every comedy, there is originality, and that yellow ball halk thingie you probaby wont find easily anywhere else.

Umm...I've seen the Bushin no Jutsu in just about every ninja manga/anime/movie/game ever.

Come to think of it, it's just a smoke screen bomb for ninja to escape or a prelude to an ambush. What's the magic in that when the air clears and there's suddenly half a dozen more blokes for you to fight

fell asleep? O_o... are you sure you are watching 2x2 = Shinobuden? I might understand some people not thinking it is funny, but with all the mindless chaos, how can one fall asleep. It is like trying to fall asleep when clowns are riding around you on tricycles while juggling bells.
